In Loving memory of Annie (Nan) Ramsay,who passed away on 26th of April 1993.

Remember her with a smile today
She was not one for tears,
Reflect instead on memories
Of all those happy years.
Recall to mind the way she spoke
And all the things she said,
Her strength, her smarts,
the way she was
Remember these instead.
The good advice she'd given us,
Whose blue eyes shone with laughter,
So much of her will never die,
But live on ever after.
Sadly missed, always loved, and never to be forgotten.
Please know that our love will never fade away.
To my mother, love your daughter, Ann
